It checks public websites to detect whether your current connection only reaches sites in a whitelist or has broader internet access. See the result in a desktop window and system tray icon. The Russia profile distinguishes no internet, government sites only, whitelist access, the Russian segment, full access within Russia, and broader access including sites normally blocked in Russia. The result is based on the selected test sites at the time of each check: it is an estimate, not a guarantee that every website will open. Run checks manually or periodically, inspect each probe in Diagnostics, and use optional speed and technical tests. Available for x64 and ARM64, with English and Russian interfaces. No account, advertising, analytics, telemetry or crash reporting. Checks go directly to anonymous public endpoints; those websites see your IP address as with a normal web request. NetMode measures reachability. It does not bypass restrictions, provide a VPN or proxy, or change your network settings. ### Package name * netmode --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * 28 October 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [9-k.ru](https://9-k.ru/ "https://9-k.ru/") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/netmode/ubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install NetMode: whitelist checker Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
